devctl

To bootstrap a local minikube environment, run the CLI bootstrap command to automatically set up the local cluster and deploy all services. This orchestrates minikube, kubectl, and kustomize with a single command.

Managing local Kubernetes service development is best handled by a single CLI wrapper that applies kustomize configurations and orchestrates minikube clusters for day-to-day workflows like starting, stopping, and watching services.

To start, stop, and watch individual services in a local cluster, use service-scoped CLI commands. These commands wrap kubectl and minikube operations to manage specific services during day-to-day development.

Yes, you can manage /etc/hosts mappings for local development services. The CLI automatically applies host mappings to ensure local stack routing stays in sync with deployed services.

Yes, kustomize is required as the CLI uses it internally to apply configurations when deploying services to a local minikube cluster. The wrapper relies on kustomize alongside kubectl for environment variable configuration and orchestration.

The CLI handles errors in local dev environments by implementing safe defaults and clear error handling throughout its minikube, kubectl, and kustomize wrapper commands. This ensures reliable execution of day-to-day development workflows.
